Jr. Cougar Cheer Donates Uniforms to Sister Cougar School in Crisp County Georgia

The cheerleaders in the Jr. Cougar Cheer program, located in Johns Creek, GA, will be sporting new uniforms this fall. “We felt it was time to update the uniforms that we had been using for the past several years with a more modern style,” said Sue Schmidlkofer, Jr. Cougar Cheer Board Member.  So, in the spirit of giving back to the community, the Jr. Cougar cheerleaders gathered up many of their old uniforms and sought a school with the same colors (blue and gold) and Cougar mascot to donate them to. Past Jr. Cougar Cheer President Julie Penrose was successful in finding the Crisp County School system, a sister “Cougar” school, located in Cordele, Georgia.

Julie reached out to Coach Paula Paquette, who was more than a little overwhelmed to accept them. She commented, “You are so KIND! We would love to have them and would put them to use at our school or in the community!!!” 

In the end, the Jr. Cougar Cheerleading program donated more than 50 uniforms to the school. Julie also delivered close to 100 uniforms from the Chattahoochee High School Cheer program. In all, about $8,000 worth of uniforms, warm ups and pom-poms were donated to the school.

Jr. Cougar Cheer is a not for profit program supporting cheerleaders from 4th – 8th grade for the Chattahoochee Jr. Cougar Football Club. It is affiliated with and serves as the feeder program for Chattahoochee High School district, located in Fulton County.
